In 2020, JFI awarded six inaugural completion grants totaling $75,000 and will scale up to $100,000 in 2021. Five of the six films have already been completed and three had their debuts in leading festivals, including Doc Aviv, Doc NYC and JFI. 158636 87051 The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival (SFJFF), is the signature program of the Jewish Film Institute. Due to COVID 19, JFI held an attenuated virtual summer festival and a December 40th Anniversary celebration. In addition, JFI initiated the inagural Cinegogue Sessions, monthly on-line curated programs based on various themes. COVID 19 afforded JFI the opportunity to expand our offerings to a national audience. 84427 JFI has a Filmmaker in Residence program and during 2020 had five filmmakers working on films with Jewish content.
